To imagine, then, at the end of this life we shall cease to exist as conscious beings, that our characters, our personalities, will fall back into some boundless being, instead of becoming more and more definite, more and more individual, is certainly not to exalt God; for it is founded on the belief, either that God is now belittled by our present individuality, or that our present individuality is a mere delusion. In the latter case God, whom we find in the depths of our souls, is doubtless also a delusion, for if the self is not real it is no respectable witness on whose testimony we can accept God. Our deepest mature conviction is that finite and infinity interpenetrate, as time and eternity interpenetrate, and our problems must be solved in the light of that conviction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Moderation is a fatal thing. . . .

For those who busy themselves to know the will of God, however, it is still true that "those who want to save their life will lose it." My extreme preoccupation with knowing God's will for me may only indicate, contrary to what is often thought, that I am overconcerned with myself, not a Christlike interest in the well-being of others or in the glory of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just as tall trees are known by their shadows, so can good men be known by their enemies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62825]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just as tall trees are known by their shadows, so can good men be known by their enemies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have spent many lives and much treasure to bring freedom to many lands that were reluctant to receive it. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32129]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have spent many lives and much treasure to bring freedom to many lands that were reluctant to receive it.
